I really enjoyed designing and building this end grain lamp table. The inlayed top includes ebony dividers with a custom made end grain veneer. The veneer includes 23 exotic and domestic wood species. The primary wood in the table is sapele.

Your not the first person to tell me that this table looks similar to a quilt. When I originally designed the table I did not intend for it to resemble a quilt, but that is okay.

Thanks, Tom Senft
